If you are drinking daily alcohol : if you are drinking alcohol in the morning ; if you need a few alcoholic drinks at night to calm your nerves from a "busy day" : if you think about your next alcoholic drink ; if you plan your alcohol drinking episodes : if you look forward to the opportunity to drink alcohol : the list goes on and on.
Is your life becoming unmanageable due to your use of alcoholic beverages?
Initially many people with drinking problems or on the verge of Alcoholism think it is a joke, will deny the amount of alcohol they consume daily.
This is simply known in Alcoholic cirlces or by Alcoholic Counselors as : DENIAL.
Few people wil admit to their problems with alcohol use.
Many do not think they have an alcoholic problem when in fact they do.
DENIAL ; is the ultimate enemy of every Alcoholic. Most if not all Alcoholics will be in Denial about their personal drinkng. No one wants to admit they have a problem with alcohol. And no one who is physically dependant on Alcohol wants to stop drinking.
Each individual who drinks has to come to their own realization that they have a DRINKING PROBLEM or that they may be an ALCOHOLIC.
No one can decide for them.
Often it is not until the Alcoholic or Problem Drinker is faced with a DUI : or : a Driving Under the Influence charge by the police that the thought may creep in their mind that they may have a problem with ALCOHOL.
In many cases it takes much more than one arrest by the police for "Drunk Driving" to start the thought process going through the drinkers mind that they may be in fact an ALCOHOLIC.
It often takes a number of incidents to follow one another that will finally convince the Problem Drinker that they are Alcoholic : for example :
- Police Arrests
- Domestic Violence
- Violence in Genreal that occurs while drunk
- Problems at Work
- Problems with a spouse or significant Other
- Money Problems, Financial Problems
- Bakrupty
- Loss of a Job
- Loss of Friends
- Missing Everyday obligations due to drinking alcohol
- People in Public noticing you smell of Alcohol or are "tipsy' or Drunk at an inapproriate function
- Drinking Daily
- Drinking in the Morning
- Binge Drinking on Weekends ie; Drinking a large amount of Alcohol
- Drinking Alone
- Over-Drinking in Social Situations
- Car Accidents caused by Alcohol use
- Legal problems caused by drinking Alcohol
- Constant thinking about Drinking
- Obssive thoughts about drinking Alcohol
The list goes on and on .... I am only skimming the surface and in no order of importance.
In my humble opinion : If you can find that FIVE -( 5 ) of these issues apply to you - I would think about going to a professional counselor and talking - Honestly - about your drinking alcoholic beverages, be it beer, wine, or hard liquor.
Save yourself, save your family, save society, before you do something you may regret for a lifetime.
Only YOU can make the decision that you may have an Alcohol Problem or that you may be drinking alcoholically or that you are an Alcoholic.
Chances are if you are not already in Recovery and are reading this post - you may have a problem with Alcohol.
